    Screen Shot 2021 12 29 at 6.21.36 PM – 100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter selected Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters as the nonprofit to receive $12,150 at its recent Giving Circle.  They presented the funds at the YBBBS Cottonwood office on Friday, Dec. 10, 2021.

    “With volunteerism at historic lows, school closures and other timely challenges, this generous investment in Yavapai Big Brothers Big Sisters will enable YBBBS to continue connecting to those volunteers, youth and families that need it most,” said Executive Director Erin Mabery.

    YBBBS matches volunteers (Bigs) from all walks of life with youth (Littles). A successful match lasts at least one year, however, the average for a match at YBBBS is 46 months with proven outcomes for youth in a variety of programs:

    • 52% Less likely to skip school
    • 55% More likely to enroll in college
    • 46% Less likely to start using drugs
    • Become more civically engaged

    “This year we will be expanding into workforce development programming to include those young adults entering the workforce by professionally and strategically creating and aiding mentor relationships through partnerships with local businesses, high schools, and colleges or vocational institutions,” said Mabery.

    100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter was launched by four Sedona women Sallyann Navarro, Barbara Quayle, Judy Reichert, and Carol Wallen who act as a Steering Committee.  The organization is dedicated to collectively provide support to qualified nonprofits. 

    The members nominate a 501(c)(3) nonprofit of their choice three times yearly.  Three nonprofits are then randomly selected and the chosen recipient is determined by a majority vote.  Each woman writes a $100 check directly to the chosen nonprofit, collectively donating a total of $10,000 or more.

           Since we launched this organization in 2020, we have given $44,000.00 to            Four Sedona-Verde Valley Non-profits

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
